Your instructors

Oki
I started my cooking career with French cuisine after graduation from high
school.

I worked in Banquet/wedding palace "Taiko-en" in Osaka for five years and went to Toronto/Canada and
worked in the 3 Stars restaurant "Marcel's Bistro and Le Saint ropez"
and "Markham Embassy suite hotel"

one year later, came back to Japan in 1996 and I worked in Inperial Hotel
Osaka and
French restaurant in Nara.
My French career ended in 9 years and I took after my father's sushi restaurant
in 1999.

Then I studied desperately in a different sushi restaurant and practiced
hard at midnight and
learned a technique of sushi over and over.
It's been 18 years since I became sushi chef.

My interests
Sushi, Vegetable carving and Star Wars!!

In 2013, I participated "Euro Carving Championship 2" in Russia/Moscow
then showed
my Japanese style carving.

Masako
She is my mother.
she was born to the daughter of the sushi restaurant and she started her
Sushi carrier when she was 15 years old because her parents past away.
Since then she work as sushi cook with her brother at their sushi restaurant.

At that time.....there was a very few woman's sushi chef exist when she
grow up.
It must so difficult to survive but she work so hard! then....

Here is a news paper's pic When she took a part of sushi contest

Time flys...Now she already has more than 60 years sushi experience.
She doesn't speak English but has a much hospitality just like me!

Her interests...Karaoke! and Karaoke!
